Adelaide Would aid the likes of Patrick Dangerfield, Rory Sloane, Richard Douglas and Scott Thompson in the midfield, and has drawn comparisons with Crows legend Mark Ricciuto in his style. But the Crows are firmly in the hunt for Carlton small forward Eddie Betts.

Brisbane Lions The Lions, facing an exodus of young talent, have made contact with Martin, but is he really what they need? As for Martin himself, would he even contemplate a club that has yet to name a coach?

Carlton Blues coach Mick Malthouse made it clear after the semi-final loss to the Swans that he wants more midfielders. While the Blues have their sights on Dale Thomas, Martin would also help in this area. He does not yet have the tank to play permanently in the middle, but would benefit by learning alongside the likes of Chris Judd and Marc Murphy. Martin's manager is also a former Carlton board member.

Collingwood The Magpies are rebuilding under Nathan Buckley, but Martin's off-field issues could mean he is overlooked. The Magpies want to forge a tougher disciplined culture, and Martin would be no certainty to conform to his vision.

Essendon Has been stripped of the draft picks required to do a deal. After a year of turmoil, the Bombers may also be loath to go near a player susceptible to off-field trouble.

Fremantle Won't have a high draft pick to exchange, but does have assets it could trade and room under the salary cap to meet Martin's requirements. Coach Ross Lyon is the type of authoritarian who could transform Martin's off-field lifestyle. The Dockers are also interested in another Tiger, Reece Conca, but really need a key forward.

Geelong Already boasts a string of young and speedy midfielders, and won't have a high draft pick or room under the cap unless there is major change.

Gold Coast Does not need more young midfield depth – and Martin would be wise to avoid the bright lights of this party city.

GWS Has confirmed its interest. With midfielder Taylor Adams wanting to return home, one club recruiter said on Monday an exchange for Martin could be a fair deal. Also has draft picks to satisfy the Tigers and plenty of room under the cap, particularly if Lance Franklin remains at Hawthorn. Martin's father is Sydney-based.

Hawthorn Has already begun planning for its midfield future, with the likes of Brad Sewell, Sam Mitchell, Shaun Burgoyne and Luke Hodge all in that 30-year-old bracket. Martin would add pace, and would benefit from being at a culturally strong club. Will not have a high draft pick to offer, but the Tigers could be interested in one of their senior stars.

Melbourne Paul Roos has made contact with Martin's management – already acknowledging the midfield as the Demons' greatest weakness. The Demons could exchange their No. 2 pick and could meet Martin's financial requirements.

North Melbourne Has already expressed strong interest in St Kilda's Nick Dal Santo, but Martin's outside run would complement the inside midfielders and take the pressure off Brent Harvey and Daniel Wells.

Port Adelaide May not want to upset the momentum it generated during a fairytale season under Ken Hinkley, and already has a talented young midfield.

St Kilda Will have a high draft pick to work with, but desperate to shed its cultural issues. Its priority appears to be a key defender. Martin is a great mate of Saint Sam Fisher.

Sydney Has little room under the cap and already boast one of the league's most dynamic midfields.

West Coast Martin's long kicking and dash would bolster a midfield which struggled this season. Would also have salary cap room.

Western Bulldogs Has the No.4 pick in the national draft; does need greater outside run but, on the money Martin wants, would he unsettle a culture coach Brendan McCartney has worked hard to rebuild? Dogs really need a key forward, and have earmarked Essendon's Stewart Crameri.
